- FROM
THEIR FORMATIVE
YEARS IN THE MID -NINETEENTH CENTURY UNTIL THEIR

Broadbent also finds that its own heritage - nurtured
from its foundation in 1864 - is still a springboard to
the future, and so the company is well set to maintain
its hard-won position at the leading edge of separation
technology.
For Broadbent, constant innovation has been central to
the company’s success. Continuous research and
development, and application of the latest design
techniques - together with careful business
development - have consistently enabled the company
With over a century of experience in the process and
laundry industries Broadbent has vast applications

BROADBENT
IS VERY MUCH AWARE OF THE DEBT IT
OWES TO ITS PAST HISTORY.
THE COMPANY
ORIGINATED AT A TIME WHEN THE INDUSTRIAL
REVOLUTION
WAS FAST GIVING LIFE TO A
MULTITUDE OF ENGINEERING INVENTIONS AND
SKILLS. IN
1864 THE
YOUNG
THOMAS BROADBENT
STARTED HIS BUSINESS AND, AMONGST OTHER
THINGS, WAS SOON MANUFACTURING HIS FIRST
CENTRIFUGE
- A HYDRO-EXTRACTOR. THIS
WAS
MUCH SOUGHT AFTER BY THE RAPIDLY EXPANDING
TEXTILE INDUSTRY FOR THE SPEEDY REMOVAL OF
WATER FROM WASHED WOOL AND CLOTH.
For over a century, subsequent generations of the Broadbent
family have steadily ensured the development and prosperity
of the Company. Over the years the Company, responding to
the challenges of the rapidly developing field of engineering
science, tried its hand at many products, but increasingly it
concentrated on a main area of interest, that of centrifugal
technology.
FIRST INTO THE FUTURE
A N E N V I A B L E H E R I TA G E
TODAY,
ALTHOUGH PROPERLY PROUD OF ITS
SUBSTANTIAL ROOTS, THE COMPANY FOCUSES ON
THE FUTURE AND PURSUES DEVELOPMENTS AND
IMPROVEMENTS IN SEPARATION TECHNOLOGY FOR
THE
21ST CENTURY.
The future seemed assured; but Thomas’s untimely death
in1880 put that future in doubt.
Horace Broadbent at the Centennial International
Exhibition in Melbourne, Australia 1888-1900
It was Helen, Thomas’s widow, who confounded all
expectations that the business would be sold by taking
personal charge of the Company until her oldest child,
William, could succeed his father. The family lineage has
remained unbroken since.
